Discover hidden trends with filters and crosstabs.

How did one set of respondents answer your survey? For instance, how did men’s responses compare to women’s? How do perceptions about a series of topics vary from one department to another within your company?

Filters and crosstabs allow you to see only the questions and responses that meet your criteria.

  • Look out for global trends across all of your survey responses.
  • Dig even deeper and apply multiple filters.
  • Use crosstabs to compare results by respondent group (women, doctors, etc.) or how you collected responses (via email, Facebook, etc.).
  • Filter by property (including time period, completed vs. partially completed responses, email address, name, IP address and one custom data field) to narrow down your results.
  • Crosstabulate your results to look for trends based on how respondents answered (e.g. see how opinions differ between those who say they’ve tried your product vs. those who haven’t).
  • Build custom views based on the criteria that you specify and include only the questions that you want.

Take a look at the examples below.

  • Who are your brand champions?
  • Would they spread the good word about your products and services?
  • What do detractors complain about?
  • Which areas do they feel you need to improve upon?
  • How do students in specific programmes feel about access to university resources?
  • Is there a relationship between department and satisfaction [Crosstab]?
  • Does that relationship still exist across undergraduate students and postgraduate students? [Apply filter to crosstab.]

Whenever you need to dig deeper and isolate segments of your survey data, use filters and crosstabs to save time and unlock intelligent insights.
